YO MY HOMIEOS!! Lol RANDOM!! Okay well, anyways, here's Chapter 14. sorry I haven't updated for a while but it's Spring Break, and it was my birthday, and… well you know!!

And I promised beautified butterfly that I'd put this in so READ HER STORY!!! Mhm so that's all that I have to say other than…… ENJOY!!

Nick's POV

I sat there, glaring at Him. And no, I don't mean God, I mean practically the devil himself. "Ryan Sheckler" even in my thoughts, I sneered his name.

What are the chances that I would have to compete against Ryan Sheckler for Maya. I mean, come on. Even if he's hardly even said anything or broken the staring competition that we seem to be locked in since I got here, I could tell that he likes Maya.

Honestly though, who wouldn't? With her sleek brown hair, deep chocolate eyes and kindness seeming to ooze (A/N lol awesome word… ooze…) out of her pores. And she was exactly like me. Not him. She's the exact opposite of him, at least, as far as I can tell.

I looked over at Maya, finally breaking the uncomfortable silence that had settled over all of us. "Maya," I said, causing her to look up, "We need to go if we're going to make the concert. And it's kinda important that we're not late, seeing how we're the ones performing."

"Right, okay. Let's go," she stood up, only to be pulled back down on the couch.

"What? You're leaving already? I thought that maybe we could hang out or something tonight," Ryan said.

Maya looked back and forth, from Ryan to me and Joe, who had come to my side.

"Well… I kind of already promised Nick and Joe and Kevin that I'd go to their concert…"

"Oh, I get it. As soon as you find someone better than the pro-skateboarder that you met on a plane, you jet? Yeah, I think that I totally get it." Ryan gave Maya a look. I think that it was supposed to be hurt, but I could see right through it. This guy was no good. I could feel it.

Maya opened her mouth to protest, but I beat her to it. "Dude, you don't know what you're talking about. Maybe Maya just flew a few thousand miles to see this concert. Did you think of that? That maybe she already had plans that you are interfering with?" I was getting really pissed off. Who did this guy think he is? I've seen his show a few times and he just seems like a whiny brat that can skateboard.

For a minute, Ryan looked really stunned. He started to raise his fist and I, having a total blonde moment, actually asked myself, "Why is he raising his fist? That doesn't make any…" my thoughts were rudely interrupted by his fist making contact with the side of my face.

I stumbled back, the force of the blow pushing me off balance. I heard Maya utter a quiet shriek, followed by a loud SLAP but I was too disoriented to understand the meaning of it all. Joe caught me before I hit the ground and sat me back down on the couch. I heard Big Rob (A/N that is their bodyguard's name, right?) come over and start to give Ryan heck, and I couldn't help but smile to myself. He was really gonna get it.

I felt someone kneel beside me and I opened my eyes, waiting a few seconds for the world to stop spinning around me.

"Hey," I heard Maya whisper. "I'm so sorry. I… it's all my fault. I'm so-" I cut her off. She sounded so close to tears, it made my heart lurch. She shouldn't cry.

I tried to sit up, but she pushed me back down. "Just lay here for a few more minutes. Pull yourself back together."

"Meh, I'm fine," she looked at me skeptically. "Really. There's only one of you again," I chuckled slightly, sitting myself back upright.

"Okay…" Maya sounded like she didn't believe me but she had no time to protest because Joe and Kevin came over. Well, Joe skipped, but Kevin walked.

"Dude, are you okay?" Joe asked. "You got hit pretty hard. That boarder's got guns!" I looked over at Ryan. Joe was right, he did have pretty big muscles. But oddly, I wasn't afraid of him. I was angry. Angry that he felt like he could control Maya. Angry that he tried to punch me out. I was really mad.

I stood up and walked over to Ryan. He looked up, and seeing me standing there, his eyes turned cold and hard. "Whadda want shortie?" he snarled at me. Maya came over and put a hand on each of our chests.

"Boys," she murmured, "Don't do this. Especially not here. I don't want you guys to get hurt."

We both shrugged back, but I was still seething. I stood there, glaring at Ryan for about a minute. He glared right back at me. It was almost as if he was daring me to punch him. He started to crack his knuckles and he got an evil glint in his eye.

He started to walk towards me, shoving Maya out of the way. She looked terrified. I know that I should have felt scared too, but I just wanted this guy gone. He slowly raised his fist, but I beat him to the punch. Literally.

My fist made contact with his mouth at the same time his fist made contact with mine. We both stumbled back, making sure that nothing was hurt or broken.

Maya stared at us with shock and hurt in her eyes. "Maya..." Ryan and I both said at the same time.

"No. Don't 'Maya' me. I thought you guys were my friends! I thought that you would… would…" she broke down in tears. That made my heart jump to my throat. I took a step towards her, forgetting that she was angry with me. Forgetting that it was my fault that she was so upset. Forgetting everything other than "I have to help her. She shouldn't cry"

When I was within arms reach of her, she pushed me and Ryan away in a single gesture and bolted towards the elevators. Kevin ran over calling "Wait, Maya! What about the concert!?"

I turned to Joe and he said, "Well that was really smooth. A very good way to show off your muscles." He flashed me a smile. "Come on, we have to go. The concert is in about and hour."

"But what about Maya?"

"Come on dude, do you really think she'll come now? Let Kevin look after that. It'll be okay."

He put a hand on my shoulder and led me out the large front doors of the hotel. Before I was blinded by the flashing lights of the hundreds of cameras surrounding me, I got a fleeting look at Maya's face. Pink and tear-stained, it was still the most beautiful face that I had seen in a long time.

Okay, so there's chapter 14!! I hope you all enjoyed it!! I'm still undecided though, so do you think that Maya should be with Ryan, Nick or Nate? I really want REVIEWS!!!! And I'm thinking of posting another JoBro story, so keep your eyes peeled for that!! And Happy Leprechaun Day!! Lmao Loves!! C♥
